I've always thought Regina's post office was a great candidate. I imagine it is half empty anyway since the moved most processing to Winnipeg. It seems wrong to have semis coming into downtown and to have a lot full of delivery trucks on valuable land.
The big floor plates would make for an ideal office building. Hopefully the modernist styling could be refreshed and preserved.
The postal plant should be on the outskirts of town probably at the GTH where the semis have easy access to Winnipeg. |
A couple of years ago, I heard that the new Post Office could be located at the airport. (As a low-rise, two-storey structure.) We'll see.
